RARE 1935 JUMBO PINBALL BY BALLY - PAYS OUT - GAMBLING

Here is your chance to own a very early and rare pinball from the early days of Bally Mfg.. Even though it does not say Bally anywhere on the machine it is listed in the internet pinball database  www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?gid=1325   The mfg. date is listed as 1935. It is called Jumbo and it is probably one of the nicest examples in existence.  The cabinet is in excellent condition.  The applied "wings" are 100% intact on both sides.  The paint on the cabinet is 99%.  The legs are missing.  The playfield graphics are in excellent condition.  The original locks are all in place.  I have the original keys to the cash box door and the payout mech access door but not to the payout door lockout.  This machine originally operated on batteries.  They are still intact but a battery charger has been hooked up to supply the current.  The current is only used to operate the payout mech.  The payout mech works similar to a slot payout.  When the tube fills up, the overflow spills into the cashbox.  It is one ball for a nickel.  If the ball lands in a payout hole, the steel ball completes the low voltage electric circuit to the payout mech.  I have played the game without the power on .  The elevator works and the plunger  (a little sticky) fires the ball.  I did not want to plug it in because I do not want to chance damaging the payout mech.  It should be removed and serviced before it is operated again.  The payout door is a spring loaded "hide away" .  There is a lockout for it but I do not have the key for the lock.  It is currently in the unlocked position.  Cabinet measures 22" wide X 44" long.  The pictures speak for themselves. Don't miss this opportunity to own a very rare payout pinball by Bally in outstanding original condition.    Reasonable opening with no further reserve.  Happy to answer any Q's.  Good luck!
